Name a flaw

>>713049695 (OP)
Ohya exists. Her confidant benefits aren't even good

Haru gets shafted so hard that Atlus apologize by giving her the most ship tease with Joker out of all the girls in Strikers, Tactica, and the dancing games

>>713050160
She drinks coffee made from elephant shit :/

>>713049695 (OP)
Making the main villains correspond to the seven deadly sins is a neat concept, but it doesn't really work. Kanashiro fits greed more than gluttony, but they couldn't give greed to him because that was already Okumura's sin. No one has sloth, even though that could have been Madarame's sin. Instead, he's given "vanity" which is not only not one of the seven deadly sins, but is essentially the same thing as pride.
Royal makes this even worse because Maruki isn't given a sin; his trait is "sorrow". Wtf? The seven deadly sins and all the other villains were characterized by their desires. But sorrow has nothing to do with Maruki's desires except in a tangential sense.

I beat OG Persona 5 about 6 years ago. Is it worth it to play Royal now or should I wait for them to remake Royal in a few years lol

I'm finally playing P5R, played 1/2 on psp and 4 golden on vita
playing on hard and just beat kamoshida, anything I need to know? spoiler-free if possible

>>713050570
Yeah. Just be ready to set like two months aside for it.

>>713050914
Don't ignore the mementos missions (you'll learn about them soon).

no diaper pooping morgana scene

>>713050421
And? Its a legitimate coffee that actually exist

>>713050923

I beat 5 in a week, but that was my spring break so all I did was play the game

>>713049695 (OP)
the characters are cardboard cutouts.

>>713050570
Just play Royal, P3 and P4 are about 20 years old so a remake for that game make sense. OG P5 was late 2016 in Japan so remaking that game wouldn't make sense yet

>>713051529


I might do that then. I'm starting to forget the finer details of P5 so Royal should be fresh to me, plus they have a new dungeon I want to try.

I was going to play P4 since it has so many memes but since we are getting the remake in October I'll wait for that

Okay, it's been nearly 9 years and still no news on P6

>>713049695 (OP)
based on their stories makoto should have been the designated fanservice girl instead of ann

>>713051838
I'd gladly be Takemi's guinea pig.

>>713049695 (OP)
Ryuji deserved better

>>713049695 (OP)
It's a bunch of gay theater kids larping in high fashion waving their jazz hands around at enemies while being hormonal over melodramatic soap opera tier writing. It's estrogen the video game.

>>713052063
the male best friend character always gets shafted.

>>713049695 (OP)
Ann doesn't sit on your face

>>713049695 (OP)
pacing

>>713052063
Worse* his fanbase is also the most dogshit somehow

>>713051838
Need Tae role reversal. It's time for her to be the ginuea pig

I love the dumb hick fortune teller

>>713049695 (OP)
it's played almost exclusively by homosexual men larping as the girls instead of the protagonist.

>>713054204
I've heard of some weird associations with persona but this is some new shit

>>713049695 (OP)
the plot
Haru's involvement
every other party member being reduced to a one-note trope after their introduction story arc
Tae Takemi isn't my real life wife

>>713049695 (OP)
Ann's SL is shit can't make up it's mind what it's even about
Makoto's SL is shit and isnt even about her
The writers think Morgana is an endearing character and him hogging the spotlight during Haru's big confrontation with her dad is one of the worst decisions in the game

>>713049695 (OP)
If only Morgana was female it would've been 10/10

>>713054792
Its weird how indifferent Haru's dads death is treated in the story.

>>713049695 (OP)
>Boring mementos
>Some of the dungeons(last one especially) suck
>Art boy's arc starts giga-cringe

Still an 8/10 game that I enjoyed quite a bit and found memorable, but the thought of replaying it, nah, fuck that.

It's been 10 years...please just give us Persona 6..

>>713055653
how about a gacha instead?

>>713051754
>i'll just wait for the censored demake
retard

>>713049695 (OP)
Non-stop jibber jabbering. If all I'm gonna do is read I might as well read a real work of literature instead of this bullshit.

>>713050439
>seven deadly sins
You are a delusional retard. That does not exist in the narrative.

>>713056312
They never say the phrase “seven deadly sins” but that’s clearly what they’re going for.

>>713055936
Thats next week

No designated titcow character

>>713050570
OG Persona 5 was harder than Royal

>>713049695 (OP)
I really dislike I am not allowed to finish dungeons in a single day or go back into them
mementos is boring, I like the dungeon at the end but the way there is mind numbingly bad

>>713050914
If you beat 4 you should already know how to pace your social link / confidants and social stats, so try to finish all of them, or at least the ones that interest you the most. Light spoiler you're gonna want to do Faith, Councillor, Justice whenever they're available. And if you're truly completely unspoiled stay out of Persona threads until you're done

>>713056827
>clearly what they're going for
No, you absolute fucking dimwit

Futaba is a pretty big flaw

I couldn't decide between Ann and Makoto and stopped playing

I am not eating out Futaba's stinky neet pusy

>>713058419
I'm convinced that the super hacker is a literal character destroying trope.
>>713058486
pick Ann, Makoto is the writers pet.

>>713056207


People will just mod all the stuff they cut back into the game

>>713049695 (OP)
It exists.

>>713054792


I mean half the plot is them shitting on Morgana and him basically feeling sad that he's just a bus in Mementos.

>>713055118

He was a greedy, shitty dude so they didn't care. Yeah that was her father but he wasn't even Haru's main caretaker.

>>713055653

Honestly at this point I don't even want Persona 6. Whatever they do it will not live up to the hype. May as well remake Persona 1 and 2.

>>713058730
>Makoto is the writers pet
which means she gets the most content

>>713058409
Not him but it is, it even shown in the Trophy list on both OG P5 and Royal as well as the achievements on Steam and Xbox

>>713058409
holy shit what a fucking retard

>persona 3 is clearly about death
>persona 4 is clearly about truth
>persona 5 is about.....uh..........rebellion? because the devs said so?

>>713049695 (OP)
>Intentionally made the characters have similar backstories to older Persona characters but did nothing interesting with the concept (Ann is Lisa without the compensated dating plot, Makoto subverts Mitsuru's "super powerful Class President" trope but it never comes up again in her Confidant, Haru's Confidant is just Mitsuru's Social Link again, Akechi isn't actually a genius teenage detective like Naoto but instead he's a genius teenage assassin, etc
>The plot tries to criticize elements of Japanese society only to completely undermine it with another plotline (Kamoshida's sexual abuse is played for drama while the complications of Kawakami dating Joker are completely ignored, Kamoshida abusing Ryuji is played for drama while the girls beating up Ryuji is played as a gag, Sae blatantly sends innocent people to prison to maintain her position but she never has to atone for it because she's waifubait, etc
>The original concept of "traveling the world executing heists" is more interesting than the rehashed high school superhero concept that we got

>>713049695 (OP)
It isn't a fun videogame. Pretty thorough visual novel though.

>>713060124
the gameplay is the only part i like.
the dating sim shit detracts from the experience so much

>>713049695 (OP)
These persona games are so fucking boring, do you guys play these games because you don't have friends but want to?

>>713049695 (OP)
morgana

>>713050570
Royal beats out vanilla in all aspects but the ending.
Vanilla blows it out of the water in that regard.

>>713059827
Stop trying to parrot that what Kamoshida did and Kawakami are even remotely the same. One is an actual sexual abuse with physical and mental torment while the others is a progressing relationship that Akira initiates. Also men and women are not the same. Fuck off.

>>713049695 (OP)
Its perfect. The best dating sim in the world. I really don't understand why Japan doesn't just make more of this. I just want a dating sim with a nice combat system / grinding. But instead its only one or the other.

>>713049695 (OP)
Morgana isn't my housewife (male)

>>713051282
Ah classic indian cuisine
Even the captcha knows 90% of you are jeets

>>713064668
Persona 6 soon, trust the plan

>>713049695 (OP)
It exists
>>713049947
Ohya is a good girl trapped in a shit game tbqh and I appreciated her neutralizing the dogshit stealth for me

Haven't played Royal so my opinion is probably worthless. Biggest flaw is probably the main cast. They're all very forgettable and mediocre.

>>713067632
So much this. Worst main cast in a persona game by a longshot. I'm suprised them being so bland isn't a more common complaint

>>713049695 (OP)
Smt for zoomers

>>713049695 (OP)
It just kinda sucks outside of music

>>713049695 (OP)
Game ends too soon after Haru joins the group

>>713049695 (OP)
After the evil rapist gym teacher tutorial mission, the story is the worst it's ever been in any Persona game.

>>713056312
Did you not pay attention to what the main mission dungeons are named after, or what the villains motivations were?

>>713067903
are you surprised? P5fags only like the game for the dating sim shit, otherwise they'd notice how mediocre it is everywhere else

>>713049947
Her confidant abilities are only bad because the the alarm is not remotely worth worrying about a vast majority of the time. Even the first time I played Vanilla I don't think I ever had to leave a Palace because of the alarm even once. It's simply a non-issue.

>>713049695 (OP)
>shit writing
>shit endings, especially in Royal
>everything fall apart after the second Castle in term of writing and dungeons

>dude, you tried to kill and enslave billions, but hey you can start again from 0 like me, become a driver or something lmao
>anime tropes up to eleven, you saved us and almost died? time to beat you up Ryuji
P6 will be a few times worse, especially because the fanbase is 10 times bigger than in 2016

>>713049695 (OP)
writing was really bad. Politics politline was incredibly shallow and juvenile and full of uninteresting characters. Actually there were loads of uninteresting characters given focus for the mind palaces in the first place, they really botched that aspect of things. If you're going to have psyche-dive dungeons then making the characters that they're a psyche-dive into boring is a real waste.

>>713049695 (OP)
Morgana

>>713049695 (OP)
Peaks with Kamoshida. Royal sucks. None of the main characters are good.

>>713049695 (OP)
English translation was really bad. Not in the way that a lot of people here screech about, I mean in the traditional way of "the translator wasn't competent enough with the source language to understand the material in the first place, so of course they weren't able to come up with English lines that would correspond to the original lines in meaning"

There are a very weirdly large number of straight up mistakes. Whoever the translation company was that did the game must have given big chunks of the job to someone whose Japanese ability was only good enough to understand maybe 90% of the original script and was just guessing for the remaining 10%, and on top of that quality control was so poor that this person's mistakes made it all the way through to the dub recording studio without being fixed beforehand. Just an embarrassing situation

>>713049695 (OP)
I can't romance Lavenza

>>713049695 (OP)
>>713050160

Haru is at least a Norwood 3

>>713049695 (OP)
Any of the following:
Too easy
Shallow writing
Overlong tutorial
Morgana-enforced bedtime

>>713070038
Morgana being basically glued to your hip the entire time and voicing literally everything you do was kind of retarded in general honestly. As annoying as Teddy was, he at least stayed in the tv world a lot of the time, and didn't feel the need to shadow haha you everywhere you went, and even when he did start living outside the tv he spent most of the time with Yosuke.

>>713069341
You can go on one date at the end if you max Strength tho

>>713049695 (OP)

Atlus is the best RPG developer in the world and there's nothing you can do to change that.

>>713076292
They haven't made a good game since Etrian Odyssey V, 9 years ago

>>713049695 (OP)
why do you retards make the exact same threads over and over again

>>713049695 (OP)
Morgana

>>713049947
Her abilities aside she would have been a lot better if you did anything in her confidant besides sit in a bar with a tranny while she's drunk

IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS

WHERE IS PERSONA 6

>>713079913
Dead franchise I'm afraid

>>713079913
Coming 2029 (actually 2035)
Enjoy the Persona 4, 2 and 1 remakes (in that order) in the meantime, as well as another 50 Persona 5 spinoffs

Can't wait for the spinoff next week

I didn't like it.
Went in thinking it was an RPG, but it's seriously closer to a visual novel. The fighting system might be the most basic I've ever seen, and the quality of the dungeons compared to the rest is embarrassing. The music was top, else not for me at all.
